If you truly love someone, you're going to be pure because true love comes from God, and God tells us to remain pure. That's good enough for me.

More quotes by Jon Foreman
There is a deeper portion of our being that we rarely allow others to see. Call it a soul maybe, this is the place that holds the most value. All else can drift but this. When this dies our body has no meaning.
Jon Foreman
It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.
Jon Foreman
Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.
Jon Foreman
I simply want the music to to find its way to open-minded people.
Jon Foreman
Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.
Jon Foreman
That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.
Jon Foreman
Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.
Jon Foreman
I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.
Jon Foreman
I've always been fascinated with the strong emotional ties that music can have. A song can bring you back to a place or a season of life like no other art form can.
Jon Foreman
Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.
Jon Foreman
I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society pain is very much the enemy. And I don't think that's true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that's the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin.
Jon Foreman
I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God] has the authority to do this.
Jon Foreman
I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.

Nothing stays together without a fight.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.
Jon Foreman
Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

If you're leaving your family behind, you better believe in what you're singing.

Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.
Jon Foreman
Music is mere tuning a song with words to some degree you have a beautiful endeavor of cosigning God's blank checks and you're actually co-creating. You're certainly not the creator with the capital C, but you're embarking on an endeavor, you're using the building blocks that have been given to you by the author of time and space.

If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.
